You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are 13 or older.

If you are under the age of majority where you live, you represent that you have any permission required by applicable law to use the Service.

We do not knowingly permit children under 13 to use the Service.

To use certain features, you must create an account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate information and keep it up to date;
• Maintain the confidentiality and security of your login credentials;
• Be responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not you authorized it.

Email verification is required. We may restrict or suspend accounts that are not verified.

The Service allows users to post content, including car events (shows, meetups, and similar) and related information (“User Content”).

You are responsible for your User Content

You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting it, including ensuring it complies with applicable laws and does not violate third-party rights.

Event disclaimer; assumption of risk

We are not an event organizer and do not control, verify, sponsor, or endorse events listed on the Service. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of event listings or user-provided information.

Attendance and participation are at your own risk. Car events can involve inherent risks, including injury, death, property damage, theft, and other harms. You are responsible for evaluating event safety, legality, venue rules, vehicle condition, and all precautions. You agree that tautto is not responsible for incidents, losses, or disputes related to any event.

Definitions

• “Organizer” means a user who creates, publishes, or manages an event listing and/or collects registration fees through the Service.
• “Attendee” means a user who registers for, purchases, or attends an event listed on the Service.
• “Event Payments” means payments made by Attendees in connection with event registration and related fees.

Organizer is responsible; tautto is not the seller

Event registrations and related fees are offered and sold by the Organizer, not by tautto. The Organizer is solely responsible for the event and its operations, fulfillment, cancellations/postponements, safety, legal compliance, communications, and any disputes with Attendees.

tautto provides a platform that enables Organizers and Attendees to connect. tautto is not a party to any agreement between an Organizer and an Attendee.

Stripe Connect processing

We use Stripe Connect to facilitate payment processing for Event Payments. Payment processing services are provided by Stripe and are subject to Stripe’s applicable terms and policies. By buying or selling event registrations through the Service, you agree to comply with Stripe requirements, including providing accurate information and completing identity/verification steps as required.

Service fee; percentage

We may charge Organizers a service fee (including a percentage of Event Payments) and/or other fees disclosed at the time of listing or sale. Fees may be deducted from payouts or charged separately as described in the Service.

Payouts; holds; reserves; offsets; negative balances

We may set payout schedules and may delay, suspend, or cancel payouts for risk management, fraud prevention, disputes, chargebacks, reversals, refunds, compliance, or suspected violations.

You authorize tautto to issue refunds to Attendees and recover those amounts from the Organizer, including by deducting from payouts, applying an offset against future payouts, placing funds in reserve, or creating a negative balance owed by the Organizer.

We do not provide escrow services and do not guarantee payout timing or availability.

You agree not to post, upload, transmit, or otherwise make available any User Content or engage in any conduct that:

• Is illegal or promotes illegal activity;

• Remove or disable event listings;
• Suspend or terminate accounts;
• Suspend, delay, or cancel payouts;
